A team from the intergalactic fast food chain Crumb's Crunchy Delights descends on Earth, planning to make human flesh the newest taste sensation. After they wipe out the New Zealand town Kaihoro, the country’s Astro-Investigation and Defense Service (AIaDS) is called in to deal with the problem. Things are complicated due to Giles, an aid worker who comes to Kaihoro the same day to collect change from the residents. He is captured by the aliens, and AIaDS stages a rescue mission that quickly becomes an all-out assault on the aliens’ headquarters.

What a strange, delightful movie. It is absolutely amazing what effects Jackson was able to accomplish. A really fun movie.

A cult movie among Bmovie fans. Hilarious, fresh and full of amazing -an cheap- visual effects.

"Bad Taste" definitely has its iconic moments, but as a whole, it's honestly pretty dull. It would have probably worked better as a short. I particularly liked the ending and generally all scenes with "Harry Potter" (played by Peter Jackson himself).

A lousy script with some supra-topic sentences that delve into absolute absurdity, a hard rock soundtrack that accompanies the ridiculous action scenes amplifying the absurdity of the story, bad acting at the same level of the total conglomerate, laughable gore scenes, etc. Basically there is no other way to sum up this movie. However, while it may seem an attack on pure reason, for a B-movie these are the perfect elements. And they behave like Euler's identity: no one would ever think that such an insanely absurd mise-en-scene would have such a balance and harmony that seems mathematical.

Made on a shoestring budget, starring friends and shooting on the weekends, this is how NZ's blockbuster director Peter Jackson got his start.

Gross, silly, with terrible masks and effects, weird acting and bad overdubbing, this film is an utter classic in DIY splatter. The sh More

**The humble (and repulsive) beginnings of Peter Jackson's career.**

This film fell into oblivion a long time ago, and it's good to let it be where it is: it has no truly notable qualities and doesn't deserve a recap at a time when there are so many much better films to see. In fact, it's hard to More
